A POSSE.

A desperate encounter between a posse OF OIL
GERS and a fugitive criminal took place night or
SO ago In Randolph County, Alabama. About q
week ago a strange man appeared three miles
from Wedowee, armed with two big revOlvers, q
dOu5le-barreled shotgun, and several knives
He made himself at home and seemed to be
perfectly fearless. He made his headquarters
at the house OF woman of bad character
To this place he was followed by q sherifY's posse
from Chambers County, Ala. who represented him
as "Dink" Buckalew, an escaped convict from
that county, who had outwttted the officers. Sew
eral young men OF the neighborhood joined the
posse, and night attack upon his lair was
planned. The party approached the house as
quietly as possible, but when they were about so
yards distant Buckalew, who was evidently on
the lookout, opened deadly fre, shooting Henry
Tucker dead and woundtng three Others. When
he had emptied his weapons be jumped out OF the
back door OF the house nd ran like deer escap-
1dg to the woods In spite OF the posses volleys
When the dead had been attended to several men
with torches made an EFFORT to catch I'D with
Buckalew. They found along the way traces OF
blood, and when daylight came discovered the
dead body OF the fugitive, where he had sat down
leaning against tree. Once before Buckalew was
almost In the hands OF the of1cers He then
blackened his face and Offering his services to dts
cover the fugitive led them Wild goose chase only
to disappear and leave the onicers to discover how
